or any political subdivision thereof, a traction engine or tractor with tires
or wheels equipped with ice picks, spuds, spikes, chains, or other projections
of any kind extending beyond the cleats, or no person shall tow or in any way
pull another vehicle over the improved highways of the state, or any political

or license to operate. Operators of traction engines or tractors shall have the
same rights upon the public streets and highways as the drivers of any other
vehicles, unless some other safe and convenient way is provided, and no public
road open to traffic shall be closed to traction engines or tractors.
